Whatever it takes!!!
Haha BCCI as a policy dont let players play more than 1 U19 WC since Dravid took over the U19 side. Sundar played one when he was 16 and since he graduated to national colors, he did not play in the next one even though he was only 18.

Wow. Jewel Andrew is slated to play in this version after featuring in a few senior white ball matches (T20Is + ODIs)

We are ****ing winning this tournament,
West Indies' 15-member squad also includes 19-year-old batter Jewel Andrew, who has already played three ODIs and five T20Is for the senior national team.
West Indies enter the Under-19 World Cup after back-to-back seven-match Youth ODI series at home against Sri Lanka and England. Dorne was the highest run-getter in both series, with van Lange the next-best from West Indies. Several others who featured in both those series, including Zachary Carter, Matthew Miller, Jakeem Pollard, Shaquan Belle and Vitel Lawes, have also been named in the World Cup squad.
In ten matches spread across the Sri Lanka and England series, Pollard bagged 18 wickets at an average of 16.27. Belle picked up 15 wickets in nine games, while Lawes, who managed just a solitary wicket in three matches against England, hit back with 14 wickets at 14.92 in six games against Sri Lanka.
"In assembling this group, we have aligned their development with the style of play we expect at the senior level, ensured exposure to high-quality match opportunities, and placed a strong focus on leadership, tactical awareness and individual support within their territories," Dwain Gill, CWI's High Performance Manager, said.
At the Under-19 World Cup, West Indies have been drawn in Group D, alongside South Africa, Afghanistan and Tanzania. They start their campaign against Tanzania in Windhoek on January 15.

Third_Man
State Vice-Captain
One name who, last winter was selected on a Lions tour and is the youngest to score a century for the England Under-19s team, is clearly missing:
17 year old Rocky Flintoff
Lancashire announced in April last year he had been left out of their championship squad as he "has suffered a 'lumbar stress reaction'..."
He was was signed/drafted in July as a wildcard, by his dad into the ECB Franchise stuff but didn't play as he had "an injury", but no further details were provided. Released / replaced mid way through the month.
Has he been injured since before last season or did he pick up a further injury during rehab or with the franchise?
Is he still injured and hence his non-selection for England Under 19s?
He signed a rookie contract covering Lancashire for 2024 and 2025. No further announcement.
Is he still under contract with Lancashire?

England managed to get Sooryavanshi out cheaply, although India still going along ok.@James , can you pin this in the Cricket Chat sub-forum for us.
Thank you
Warmup matches today:
ZIM-U19 vs NZ-U19, Masvingo Sports Club
ENG-U19 vs IND-U19, Bulawayo Athletic Club
Erm, just spotted the NZ wicket keeper is called Aryan Mann.......some questions to answer there!!

England have taken 8 Indian wickets today and they've all fallen to seam (Minto 5-34). Farhan has bowled 8 overs 0-50 in comparison.
Be interesting to see how England go chasing a total of about 290 (I suspect not well).
Pavel
School Boy/Girl Captain
That is interesting, although maybe it could be more about the Indians being better at playing spin?
Yes let's see how well England bat, especially against spin.

England doing so far in the chase. Partnership building between these two for the second wicket

196-3 after 34.3 overs with Rew on 71, but it started raining.
Were it a competitive fixture I'm guessing England would be comfortably ahead on DLS. It probably shows that India are definitely beatable if you can get the main boy early. If you don't, he'll kill the game.

Format
The 16 teams will be divided into four groups with three teams from each group advancing to the Super six stage. The fourth-placed teams in each will move to a placement match, with the fourth-placed teams in Group A and D facing each other while the fourth-placed teams in Group B and C take each other on.
The top three teams from Group A and D will progress to one Super Six group while top three teams from Group B and C will be combined in another Super Six group. The points, wins and net run-rate earned against the other progressing Super Six teams will be carried forward.
The teams will then play two matches in the Super Six stage against opponents from the other group that finished in a different group stage position. For example, the first-placed team in Group A plays only teams that finished second and third in Group D in the Super Six. Similarly, the second-placed team in Group A plays only the teams that finished first and third in Group D.
